This is the best summary I could come up with:


Miller said the measures are meant to ensure international students aren't vulnerable to sketchy employers and "unscrupulous" schools that leave them unable to afford life in Canada.

Starting next year, prospective students will need to show they have access to $20,635 instead of the $10,000 requirement that has been in place for two decades, in addition to paying travel and tuition.

For years, critics have argued that some colleges are providing foreigners with inadequate educations while giving them a chance to get visas to work in Canada and to eventually immigrate.

The issue has attracted close scrutiny as an uptick in international students has coincided with a housing shortage.

Provinces have a number of tools at their disposal — namely the regulation of the designated learning institutions, that in some cases just need actually to be shut down."

The Liberals are also winding down a policy that lengthened the time graduating international students could work in Canada without an employment visa.
